Too Clever By Half
Russert, Matthews, Tucker are a breed of journalists who feel so self important because they labour under both the delusion and illusion that they are journalists. They belong to a mutually self-reinforcing club that helps sell one another's books and other promostional stuff.
The Clintons are a bonanza. They can be attacked against a Russert supportive chorus with ease. Fellow journalists will whoop. They don't dare do it to the Bushes because they can git hit back. When Russert asks Laura and barbara Bush to have their husban's release their personal corespondence, documents and diaries then we will get a level playing field.
That we have to see Tim grieve analysing stuff like this says tons for the low level of our political discourse.
Edwards did himself no good by piling on. He lost me because, in the end, he behaved like a trial lawyer.
